WASHINGTON, Oct. 26, 2015 — The American Council of the Blind (ACB)
announced today that its iPhone app, ACB Link, is now available. This app
will assist ACB staff, members and friends to readily communicate news of
relevance to the blind community.
ACB Link will give access to valuable resources offered by ACB, and users
will receive push notifications of news relevant to ACB’s work and the
blindness community at large. The app will allow each user to be easily and
quickly connected with the nearest ACB state affiliate, and be informed and
entertained by the wide variety of Internet radio programming offered by ACB
Radio. ACB Link will bring blind people, their friends and families together
in a new and exciting way.
"We are just at the beginning of something big here for ACB," says Jeff
Bishop, ACB board member and team lead who directed the effort for ACB Link.
"Innovation has always been at the forefront of ACB's vision, and ACB Link
takes the organization even farther down the path in building tools and
technologies for our members.”
Eric Bridges, ACB’s Interim Executive Director, states, “People, whether
they are blind or sighted, have the ability to obtain information through
multiple platforms. We feel that it is critical for our organization to
provide access to valuable resources to our members and the general public
in a timely fashion.”

ACB Radio, visit acbradio.org.
